The results show that an early vitrectomy in cases of juvenile uveitis intermedia often leads to a stabilization or an improvement of visual acuity and a regression of the inflammatory attacks (episodes). Therefore, in children and adolescents with endogenous uveitis intermedia a pars plana vitrectomy instead of a long-term systemic immunosuppression associated with heavy side-effects should be considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
